We’ll come across “Refactoring Cat” again during this book, as an
example of what happens when we get carried away and want to
change toomany things at once. Think of it as the little cartoon demon
counterpart to the Testing Goat, popping up over your other shoul‐
der and giving you bad advice…
It’s a good idea to do a commit after any refactoring:
$
git status
# see tests.py, views.py, settings.py, + new templates folder
$
git add .
# will also add the untracked templates folder
$
git diff --staged
# review the changes we're about to commit
$
git commit -m"Refactor home page view to use a template"

<html>
<head>
<title>
To-Do lists
</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>
Your To-Do list
</h1>
</body>
</html>
Let’s see if our functional test likes it a little better:
